banded 12/3/08

[Macropsia 0]

I made it through the 6 months ins. imposed monitoring, did all my pre-op requirements and here I am banded! I look forward to the physical changes and triumphing over food because now I will be controlling it instead of letting it have the power.

I felt like a million bucks post-op but have been very sore since; especially my arms and legs. I think it's from climbing out of the surgical recliner because I was so mindful not to use my stomach & abdominal muscles. Being short was a handicap with those recliners. They should use those electric lift chairs to give us a little help up!

Just wanted to share that I'm a bandster now.

Congrats and Happy Band Day! I have 18 days to go. 12/23/08 is my date.

I am hoping that I will bounce back quickly, I'm planning on going back to work on Monday (6th day post op). I have a office job and will be back full time for 3 days then have another 4 days off.

I'm very nerveous, excited, and scared. But looking forward to my new banded life and being healthier.

Again Conrats and keep us all posted on your progress!!!

Macropsia, Congrats!!. You are probably right. It will go away soon. Have you tried the adult liquid Tylenol? It helps.
